I had a boggo RS2K, mk5, and it was an awsome car

, I only bought it for a runabout as I got it silly cheap (try 1k with 12months mot and 6 months tax

), but I was absolutly amazed how good it was, the book figures don't do it justice as you can't quite hit 60 in second gear, so it looks slow, but through the gears it was really quick and for a 16V very torquey. The handling was sublime, and it turns in sooooo quickly, and holds a really tight line no matter how brutal you are with it, and its quiet, got power steering, and a nice ride and recaros. The only 2 probs are they have wank brakes and they rot at the filler cap like a fiat in a salt store

Personally I would take one over a orrible RST any day, and yes I have had an immaculate S1 turbo with 190+bhp, but it just can't match the all round package of the RS2K
anyone remember he max power RS2000??? horrible colour but it had a 250-300BHP mountune rally engine on throttle bodys

now THAT would be a weapon
